    "Enter Manual Network Entity Titles?"

    You can assign a maximum of three network addresses to a system
    including the Phase IV address (if you assigned one). If you
    entered a Phase IV address and a Phase IV prefix in response to
    the previous prompts, the Phase IV NET is automatically generated
    and assigned for you.

    If you know which NETs to use, enter them at this prompt. If
    you are entering more than one NET, separate them with a comma.
    You can obtain them from your network manager or construct them
    yourself.

    To create an NET manually, you need to know your system's Network
    IDP, network local area, and Node ID.

    For example, given the following information:

    A network IDP of 41:45436192:
    A network local area of 43
    A node ID of 258

    The NET is constructed as follows:

    IDP and selector    = 41:45436192:local-area:node-id:00
    43 decimal          = 2B    hexadecimal (local area)
    (43 * 1024) + 258   = 44290 decimal
    44290 decimal       = AD02  hexadecimal
    AD02 swapped        = 02AD  hexadecimal (node ID)

    The resulting NET is 41:45436192:00-2B:AA-00-04-00-02-AD:00

                                   NOTE

       NETs must be entered in DNA format, which uses colons to
       separate fields and dashes to separate pairs of digits.
       Make sure that you include the 00 selector when you manually
       specify a NET.
